<p>Is there a way to sign up for an overnight stay at UNC? Or do you need to know someone to be able to stay overnight with them? My decision is coming down to UNC UVA and UMCP and I think the overnight will give me a good sense of life at UNC</p>
<p>There are no overnight stays. The last of Explore Carolina have passed. The only way to do it is to stay with someone you know. I called and asked/begged. They said no. 
Explore Carolina was well done, however.</p>
<p>Unless UMCP is free or really a LOT less expensive this should really be a two horse race…no comparison between campuses, towns and nowhere near the level of national recognition as with UVA and UNC.</p>
<p>while that is true i am instate for UMCP so i have to give it a little consideration. its about half the price of either uva or unc for me at about 7K</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>agreed but if you can go to either UVA or UNC for four years for under $30K total AND your family can afford the difference without putting financial strain on themselves, the educational difference is worth the $$$</p>
